This workshop is designed to get everyone on the same page and provide some context for understanding mental health, mental illness, and the tools available to address both. The workshop will also cover the difference between therapy and empathic support, including how to maintain good boundaries and protect and foster your own mental health. We'll also touch on the topic of burnout. What is burnout (beyond exhaustion and overwork)? How do we recognize it, what are the factors, and what are some key tools to addressing it? How can we ever mitigate the conditions of burnout, given how challenging our external environment is?

This workshop is being given by Take This. The mission of Take This is to decrease the stigma, and increase the support for, mental health in the game enthusiast community and inside the game industry. Our vision is a game community that welcomes and supports people experiencing mental health challenges, and that recognizes the humanity and mental health of game creators. we normalize mental health challenges and recognize and honour intersectional experiences; approach change and mental wellness broadly, from empowering individuals to enacting systemic change focused on leadership and cultural norms and practices; foster a healthy, inclusive community by focusing on collaboration and partnership; and take an evidence-based approach to our mental health content and programming.
